minimum tax. there is an entire set of taxes that there are two methods of tax. if you're doing that, you're in a lower tax rate and certain things are not deductible for the alternative minimum tax. you can't deduct state income taxes or real estate taxes. so you really need to run the numbers for both years, look at some of the rate changes that you are going to know about, such as 3.8% investment income, medicare tax and other things, then make those decisions. >> gretchen: unfortunately, we don't know exactly what tax rate anyone is going to have because we still are in the fiscal cliff thing. you do recommend prepay state income taxes? >> if you're not in the amt, prepay state income taxes, prepay real estate taxes because you can get deductions. if you're deciding you want to save tacks for 2012. >> gretchen: prepay your 2013 mortgage so it can be included in 20 is it -- 2012. >> you can't pay your february one, but you can pay your january one because it's interest in december and you can g

for example, one big tax increase in the obama tax increase package is the capital gains tax rate is going to go up 58% on the higher income taxpayers. and so now in the last 50 years, every time the capital gains tax rate has been raised, capital gains revenues have declined rather than increased. and every time the capital gains tax rate has been cut, capital gains revenues increased rather than declined. and cbo has gotten it wrong every time over 50 years. and so whether you're deal -- what you're doing with obama is not just the expiration of the bush tax cuts, but obama tax goes into effect as well. the cap gains rate will go up 58% and this is going to lose revenue rather than gain revenue just as it has in the past. similarly, the tax increase on dividends. if the bush tax cut expires, along with the obamacare tax increase, the tax rate on dividends is going to increase -- actually triple. when bush cut the tax rate on dividends, dividends pay soared and so did the taxes napad on them as a result. if you reverse that tax cut and put the obamacare tax on top, dividends are goi
